South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has laid down the law to 5th Circuit Solicitor Byron Gipson when it comes to giving mercy to convicted killer Jeroid Price. 'The State does not consider it in the public interest that Mr. Price receive a reduction in sentence,' Wilson wrote Gipson in a one-page letter. 'Accordingly, as South Carolina's chief prosecutor, I do not authorize any sentence reduction ... unless I personally approve,' Wilson wrote. Price, 43, was released from prison earlier this year after serving just 19 years of a 35-year prison sentence for murder.
